Bio:
Addison Brasil had no intention of becoming a disruptor in the mental health and grief space. While pursuing his dream of creating stories that connect people, events in his life forced Addison to focus his full attention on surviving trauma, compounded grief, and the various outcomes of finding himself as an LGTBQ-identifying male.
Addison co-founded and served as Head of Brand Impact for tethr, a worldwide men’s mental health and well-being platform focused on the power of peer support. His advocacy efforts and promotion of mental health and grief action has garnered global media acknowledgement in the New York Times and The Washington Post, and on Healthline, TMZ, and Fox News. Addison is currently writing a memoir and speaking about grief.
Addison is Co-Producer and Executive Producer of the award-winning short film The Great Artist starring Matthew Postlethwaite, Emmy Nominee Rain Valdez, Benjamin Patterson, and Marimar Vega. Directed by Cannes Gold Lion Winner Indrani, the film will screen at the Cannes Film Festival in 2022.
Addison is regularly invited as a speaker at events and as a guest for podcasts worldwide to share his story as a lived experience expert. Addison’s written work as a contributor have been featured in Los Angeles Magazine, Never Alone Blog, Chip Conley’s Wisdom Well, Daddy’s Digest and more.
